Lots of people talk about using it, but there are very few pictures of the process/results, so I figured I'd make some:

You can find the stuff at your local grocery store with the cleaning supplies like Windex, 409, etc.

The original!

Scrub a dub, dub, ugh, smells like a dead bug!

Oooh, shiny and clean! :D

Took a bit of effort, about 10 minutes worth of scrubbing with paper towels and multiple applications of the stuff, but it paid off, completely took off the paint without damaging the plastic at all.

Probably good it didn't come off real quick, cause if it did the plastic probably would have wound up all scratched up.

This was a great piece to test it out on cause Lego has never produced a plain black one, only black ones with ugly printing. Next I plan to test it out on some of those new circular 1x1 transparent tile pieces that come with those new Ninja sets. They all have goofy/ugly printing on them and as of yet they don't make them without it, so they're good candidates...although there might be a trans-green one in one of those new girly sets...can't remember.

Scrubby, scrubby. It certainly does take some effort, about ten minutes per piece, but it does a very nice job of removing patterns.

The only downside is with uber new Lego pieces, which have a kind of shininess/shimmer to them, which is lost.

But then again that doesn't really last anyway unless you keep every piece hermetically sealed in plastic and so forth. LOL

This was a good piece to use Brasso on because Lego has never released a plain medium orange drawer. They have produced medium orange containers/casings, although the ones I ordered haven't yet gotten here, so I just used black for this example.

Another great piece to use Brasso on. Lego just started making these new round, flat pieces last year I believe, unfortunately the ones they initially released all had goofy looking symbols and hoohas on them.

They have since released plain transparent green, yellow and red (great for stop lights), but no blue and no orange. So, hence the need to strip off the goofy patterns!

Mmmm, I'm a bit of a traditionalist, I like to try and find solutions with regular Legos before I start looking for alternatives. ...that and there's like 378 ~other~ things I'd rather buy from BrickForge, stuff that Lego doesn't produce anything similar to at all.

I do wish BF would come out with some double sided plate pieces though. I bought a MegaBloks set one time and it had these uber nifty 2x2 flat plates that were double sided/studded. One of the best pieces I've ever owned! It'd be really awesome to get some small 1x1 round/square ones as well as some larger ones. I guess one could simply Super Glue two plates together...although that's not quite the same.
